Last Notes npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Had created a new nsec to post this, but thought I'd post on my old account also... Learned of a tragedy this week--a very kind and well respected banjo maker Arthur Hatfield had a fire in his shop, which destroyed it. A friend of his set up a go fund me account, and I wanted to share that URL here for anyone wishing to help: https://gofund.me/365470b2 You can read more on banjohangout.org: https://www.banjohangout.org/topic/401345 Always breaks my heart to see things like this...especially for an artisan such as Arthur that brought joy to so many from his banjos. Thanks all for reading, Prayers I'm sure are also appreciated even in lieu of a donation. #coffechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy last day of 2024! It's time for me to retire this nsec (mainly for privacy reasons) and take a step back from social media (mainly to try and live a quiet life as Fr. Mike would say). Thank you to all the friends I've made here on Nostr--it's a great community and a great group of folks. Perhaps at some point, I'll create a new nsec and return--but if so, I'll be more of a "reader" than a "poster". But for now, I'll simply close out this year wishing eveyone the best for the future. Devs--keep it going--you've got something truly special here in Nostr--don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise! 😃 God bless you all! Now--it's time for a coffee! (And of course a special thanks to all of you on the #coffeechain) npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo How to securely and privately timestamp any file using email and SHA256... a) Hash a SHA256 on your file (if you have multiple files, zip them first and then hash the zip file). Windows: certutil -hashfile "file_name" SHA256 Linux: shasum -a 256 <file_name> b) Save the result in a text file (.txt) - identify it with the original file name so you know which file generated the hash. c) Copy the SHA result and paste it in the body of an email (you don't need to include the text file). d) Email the message to yourself. e) Save the .txt file with the SHA with the original file for your records. f) Save the email (don't delete it) so you can check the timestamp if needed in the future. Explanation: a) The SHA proves that the file exists (i.e. there's no way to generate the SHA "after the fact"). b) Sending the SHA via email provides a valid timestamp. c) No private information is sent over email (a SHA hash is worthless series of numbers and letters). d) No third party is needed (while there are some good online services and/or paid services that provide timestamps, you don't have to trust any of these services with your data, and you don't have to worry that a third party provider may not still be around in the future). e) You can run a new SHA on the file at any time in the future to prove the file has been unchanged since the time the original SHA was generated. Definitely took me some extra coffee to figure this out 😃 #coffeechain #asknostrd npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Or download an app... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Wait...what?? 🤣 🤣 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Bluegrass (of course)... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Men are from Mars.... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo We are all @npub1q6y…t3sh npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hmmm...feels like a case of 'roid rage... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Monday! Fr. Mike's homily yesterday centered around social media and people seeking fame...definitely food for thought...and well worth a listen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D36CWWWZ7nI #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Traders gonna trade...it's in their DNA... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo It should have become obvious that there was a problem when the copper in a penny became worth more than the penny itself... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Sunday! Taxes are theft. Just had to say that... (Grrrrrr...) I need a coffee... #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Agree - and then when inflation hit, the price of used cars skyrocketed (as there were so few available). Now just a parts car is $1,000... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Everyone needs to think for themselves...and put in the work to do their own research. The data was available in January 2020 -- all the proof was available -- but most people just listened to the news, heard what they wanted to hear ("hey, there's a pill for that") and went on with their lives... Lesson learned. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Saturday! (I think...that time space thing from yesterday still has me flummoxed) Those of you looking for a good New Year's resolution I have a suggestion: How 'bout running your own BTC node? It helps everyone, you're contributing something to the protocol, and it truly makes a difference. And it's easier than joining a gym... 😃 #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Well, there's always another sale, and another Pixel...but having said that, nothing is more imporatant than your privacy and your security... I consider it an investment...same reason I use OPNSense and Linux -- additional layers of security, and I feel for all of those, it's money well-spent. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GREAT quotes--thanks for sharing! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo I find 3D printing incredibly useful (actually one of the best inventions ever). However, if you're just going to print tchotchkes from thingiverse or makerworld then you'll quickly tire of having a 3D printer... So really depends on what you're going to do with it. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Nothing wrong with self sovereignty for your data. Cloud services mean you don't own your data (e.g., iTunes) -- unless you're running your own cloud (e.g,, NextCloud) it's not your data. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM @npub1q6y…t3sh - good to see you...(even if we can't see the video) 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo LOL... 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Indeed, and you can get zapped for it as well!! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Maybe, but I also think it's a commentary on modern society--all too many are "comfortable" letting "someone else do it".... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Another great cartoon! Thanks! Have a great day Maria! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Took me a while to figure this one out...guess that's a good thing! 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo I can't tell you--the whole time travel paradox thing you know... 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Perhaps---but IMHO if you can afford a cold wallet, you can afford to run a node...and you should. No excuses other than "letting soemone else do it"....Umbrel makes it just clicking a few buttons (same with setting up a Raspberry Pi) If you can install an app on your phone, you can run an Umbrel node. Makes no sense to me to trumpet "self sovereignty" and not run a node. All hat and no cattle... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Drat...I certainly need another cup of coffee...totally screwed up the space time continuum today... #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo You can do this with #grapheneOS... (Just kidding...) npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Monday! Saw a post yesterday that showed that there are only 2,000 or so BTC nodes operating in the US. And out of curiosity, I looked up on meshmap and saw there are about 1,500 #meshtastic nodes...(of course with far fewer users) What this says to me is that we need to have more people running BTC nodes! Seriously, it's neither hard, nor expensive. Grab a Raspberry Pi5, a 1TB SSD (min) and Umbrel and you're up and running...for about $125 or so. Oh--and you'll need a cup of coffee while you plug it in! That's it! #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hmm...just over 2,000 in the US? I'd have thought there'd be more than that... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo "If you can see through it, it's not really beer..." npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Acutally thought (at first glance) that Strike had integrated Cashu...but on closer inspection I see that wasn't the case... Perhaps soon...? npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo No surprise at all there... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo @npub1cn4…3vle is a boss npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Love the mug! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Merry Christmas @npub1q6y…t3sh Keep the faith! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Thursday! Day after Christmas--looking forward to all the leftovers! (But always have fresh coffee!) #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Ok, that is cool...who knew? npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Merry Christmas Nostr! Our Savior is born! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo C'mon--hot dogs... wait for it.... Roll... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo It annoys me when apps abuse any privileges (especially like asking for your contacts). Apps are absolutely the biggest privacy risk out there...and most never even think about checking to see what access they're granting when the download an app. If you're ever curious, just drop the name of any app into Exodus: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/ npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo No way--always such great Christmas energy around here! 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Christmas Eve! Always enjoy Christmas Eve--cooking, baking, music and getting ready for Christmas! And start it off (of course) with a great cup of coffee!! Merry Christmas everyone! #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Wow--amazing that some folks just want to tear down and criticize... What's happened to our society? "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Monday! 'Twas the day before the day before Christmas, And all through the realm, Not a Nostrich was stirring, not even @npub1qny…95gx (Drat, I need more coffee to finish this...maybe a few other folks can help me out?) #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Well, since you did say "none of this is true" one can only draw the conclusion that you were unaware of the tech you were using... Hopefully you're now more informed... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Huh...totally unexpected, but this is available on GitHub... Kudos to @npub1s0v…pq6j! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Really? Let's review: a) Apple receives and stores your contacts - and within those contacts are way more than phone numbers. (Think birthdays, addresses, kids names, etc.) and you are exposing all of that personal information of your friends to Apple without their consent. Also, your photos are subject to facial recognition, and that means your friends' faces too--and that's linked to GPS EXIF data, so now Apple knows where your friends have been, and when. b) Client Side Scanning lets Apple look at all of your photos for illegal content BEFORE that data is encrypted. It was implemented to help combat child porn, but of course your data can be scanned for anything that Apple might choose. c) Apple devices establish a "mesh" network with all other Apple devices--this is how "Find my Phone" and Apple Air Tags work. Every phone and every tag is constantly monitored for location (not only by your phone but by every other iPhone on the street), and that data is sent back to Apple constantly (i.e., when you lose your phone Apple doesn't scan for it, it simply "looks up" the last known location in its database and sends it back to you). Again, I'm not expecting you to change your behavior (although I might hope you woud consider it)--just putting this out there to increase awareness of what Apple is really doing....but please recognize these statements and Apple activities are 100% factual. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo nSTDs --- hilarious! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Odds are you won't be able to change a meth addict's behavior... But you might be able to convince someone else to not become a meth addict... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Sunday! Had a thought--why don't we implement "inverse" zaps in Nostr? So everyone is saying there's currently not a good way for developers to be paid for their efforts--what if everyone was required to expose a portion of their wallets for "inverse zaps" (say 10% or so?) and anyone with a worthwhile project could then unilaterally "withdraw" some of those zaps to cover their costs? The developers could then create products that could benefit everyone...after all, they would know what the best products would be, and we (as users) would be able to then directly support those efforts. If everyone was required to chip in their fair share, then we'd all benefit. Devs of course would only withdraw what they needed for each project., but I'm betting with such a guaranteed income, we'd all find that there would soon be a plethora of great projects coming our way. In the event we found there were more projects than current inverse zaps could support, we can simply increase the "inverse zap" required percentage for everyone. Seems like a win-win... (And before I get permanently muted, please recognize this is sarcasm, using inverse zaps as a metaphor for governmental taxation) Time for coffee... #coffeechain #asknostr npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Well, if you are comfortable giving up your privacy, and the privacy of all of your friends, then by all means carry on. If you're comfortable with client side scanning, and having Apple curating all of your photos and the information on your phone, carry on. If you're comfortable being having all your activities tracked by Apple via its BLE mesh, then carry on. As with any meth addict, they know its bad for them, but they choose to ignore the consequences and continue to use. So it is with iOS users... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Saw this elsewhere and had to share... https://m.primal.net/NCdM.png npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Once people become dependent on the Government, they're forever lost. It's the same in every country--it's financial addiction--people work for the government, and get "free stuff", and eventually it's just "easier"...it's a "comfortable" life--the govenment provides and "takes care of them", it "keeps them safe"...but at what cost? Is it any wonder that they then vote to keep the status quo? Sad, but for the majority of Americans, this has become their life--living a comfortable existence as a slave to the government... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Sigh... "I have nothing to hide" -- "it's so convenient"... Every meth addict has experienced the same thing..."I like it too much to give it up" Most Americans are indeed sheeple...just living their lives in a state of oblivion. Sad, but true... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo "Lucy, you canna be in the show tonite".... 😃 Good name for a pup!! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Oh he's adorable--what's his name? (Or is that still be decided? Does Nostr get to weigh in? 😃 ) npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Ok, you're halfway there (you've come to the realization that you need to be able to control your devices, and not have them control you)...but Apple's entire ecosystem is designed to prevent such "hanky panky". Grab a Pixel 8a for $399 (on sale now), and load up #GrapheneOS - seriously. (And if you sell that iPhone you'll probably end up with some money in your pocket too...) npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Saturday! Hoping today is as nice as yesterday - have some work outside to do, so would welcome another warm, sunny day! And will certainly start it off with a coffee and some zaps. #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Only politicians want war...none of the citizens want war--they just want to live normal peaceful lives (on both sides). npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Never have surfed, but I gotta admit that's a pretty impressive video... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo And therefore you're guilty...welcome to the legal system npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Wait...puppy??

So Jay Powell says a few words, and everything implodes... Sheesh...I think I need an Irish Coffee this morning... #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Debt is always reverse compound interest.

Happy Wednesday! Queston for today: If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be? #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Same here--paucity of nodes...but someone has to start... I have one node I leave up in a front window (RAK box without a screen--battery will last about a week (have to say I'm impressed by teh RAK's low power consumption). Have a second RAK node with a screen, that is kind of my "receive and monitor" node--and then have the T-Deck (that is my travel node). T-Deck is still kind of flaky, even with Meshtastic firmware--I can't figure out what nmakes it "sleep" (or not sleep). Sometimes it turns off, and the only way to wake it is with the mouse button, and at other times it never goes to sleep (and chews up the battery in about a day). Hoping they'll solve that at some point. There's a T-Deck 'Pro' in the works that will have e-paper display and wireless charging (the T-Deck is hard to see in bright sun)--so that'll probably be on order once they're available... Would like to see the devs work on the power settting a bit more, but I think they're probably concentrating on a full UI re-write for the T-Deck with the larger touchscreen--we'll see...fun times to be involved with #meshtastic npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Or...you can putt one day, but not chip, and the next day vice versa... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Nice...grab yourself a T-Deck also... https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/lilygo/tdeck/ https://lilygo.cc/products/t-deck-plus-1 #meshtastic npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo There are lots of them here... 😃 #coffeechain is always good for some philosophical gems...and then follow (and zap) those folks... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Love the mugs! 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hmmm...I have zero trust and faith in the central government...

Happy Tuesday! Always nice to start your day with Nostr and all the GM wishes! No better way to enjoy a cup of coffee! #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Ok, that's different...have to pull back a bit from the screen, but neat effect! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy NMonday! Another week, another coffee, another zap (or two...or threee...) (I think three should be spelled with the extra "e"...kind of like onomatopoeia with letters...) #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hmmm...migth have to grab one of those...I like the idea of an ultra-small form factor on a keychain... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Nice (and small) case...what board is in there? npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Sunday! Naomi has a good video out on "I have nothing to hide"...worth watching over a cup of coffee sometime today... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcqh0ZSza50 #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Worth reading through... 😃 Some really interesting facts, and a different perspective from how we look at Christmas in the US. (Really like going door-to-door as the 3 kings...) #naddr1qv…aylp npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Thanks for putting this together L...really interesting to read through! 😃 npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo No--I just use clent.meshtastic.org if I need it...but I really use (and prefer) the phone app...just used the web app for the T-Deck (as it wouldn't connect to the phone app). Maybe there is a solution (i.e., maybe it's me) but given the other challenges wtih the UI, I decided to put it on the shelf and go back to the Meshtastic firmware. Will wait to see how the T-Deck Pro goes, and then maybe I'll revisit that UI...I'd be surprised if they roll out the Pro with "only" the standard meshtastic UI... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Well, I understand the dev is continuing to work on that UI, and there is a T-Deck "Pro" coming soon, so perhaps it will improve shortly. Still, even without the cool UI the T-Deck is the best #meshtastic device I've used so far, and if I were to recommend one to a person just starting out, the T-Deck would be it. Other devices are cheaper, better battery life, etc. but being truly self-contained is a game changer. npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Man, that's going to be hard to clean... npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo GM Nostr! Happy Saturday! So gave up on the prototype "pretty" UI for the T-Deck and went bact to the stock #meshtastic firmware (at least for the time being). The UI was amazing, but just not stable enough (biggest problem for me was if it was turned off (or reset--easy to do with the T-Deck) it couldn't send messages--well, they get sent and you get an ACK back, but messages never show up on the remote devices. The only way to solve this that I found is to receive a message on the T-Deck first--and once that message is received you can then send messages. I also couldn't connect to the T-Deck with the Meshtastic phone app - could only connect via a serial connection to Meshtastic web, and even that was buggy. (So really hard to change settings--espeically GPS which is not part of the prototype UI). The stock firmware does not exhibit these behaviors, so I'll stick with that as it's simply more usable. Still love the T-Deck though--the keyboard makes it a true stanalone unit, which is what makes Meshtastic a compelling technology. Time for coffee after writing such a long post... #coffeechain npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Hey--now you have some great movies to watch! npub1jnmx5cfc5g8pyr80hc6rzqccdqzgg7kevxf3vas78em2qck4lmgqpsk5lw banjo Huh...I've always thought being a bot might be cooll...guess I are one...
